$20 La Marzocco/E61 portafilters

[Tex]

Here are the two latest portafilters I bought from Espresso Liquidators. It seems they add double spouts even if you didn't ask or pay for them.

OK, they're not OEM, but at $20 they're great!

Here's what someone is selling similar portafilters for: http://www.espressoparts.com/MZ_56 & http://www.1st-line.com/parts/lamarzocco/filterhandles.htm

A sucker friend sent it to me. Nice guy; you should endeavor to be more like him!

Note: Larry sent me a bag with my last order! Muchos gracias, mi amigo!

BTW Dude: Does your Elektra or Brasilia use E61 portafilters like these? I'm trying to get Joel to carry Gaggia portafilters & parts at similar low prices.

I think they are E61's .. but I'll have to confirm that.

The only question is: Are they 58mm or 57mm? I had an Elektra Nivola the was 57mm - hard to find aftermarket portafilters & filter baskets at reasonable prices.

I think 58mm, but I'll have to check

Sweet!  These will work in my Faema and Futurema.  I needed a couple more...

[MGLloyd]

Hmm, would these work in my Pasquini Livia?

They'll fit any E61 compatible group. Faema, Futuremat, La Marzocco, Spanish Gaggia, etc.

Thanks, Tex. Just got mine today. I've been stuck with a bottomless just because they give a flat tamping surface, but I always wanted a 15 degree porta. I've just never wanted to shell out the 80 bucks. These are nice!

Mine didn't come with a spout or the basket wire. I had some extras, but just a heads up for others.

Just in case anyone is interested, these will not fit a Livia.

That sucks! Makes one wonder when manufacturers use off-sizes and proprietary patterns. IIRC: The Silvia won't take an E61 PF (or is it the Silvia PF won't fit an E61??). I had an Elektra Nivola that my wife used in her office and loved; but 57mm filters and portafilters were expensive so I sold that mutha.

[Tex]

BTW: Joel mentioned that he's having a bunch of these made into bottomless PF's. If anyone's interested they should keep an eye on Espresso Liquidators as these sell out pretty fast.

These are still available, but now $25 and now here
